Like the new Mercedes-Maybach SUV but wish it was a bit less bulky? The new Mercedes A-Class Saloon boasting an extraordinarily similar body shape is here to end your woes. (Just check the image comparison below) But don"t get too attached. It"s only for China, where the traditional saloon shape is still big news. Called the A-Class L Saloon, its wheelbase is 6cm longer than the A-Class hatchback"s for better loungability. It"s a word. Promise. There"s a wealth of tech on board, including a voice-control system that"s apparently fluent in several Chinese dialects. It"ll be made in China, too; it"s Merc"s biggest market these days, and in 2017, two-thirds of the 590,000 cars sold there were made locally.
